_Cloe._ _Alexis_, when the sun shall kiss the Sea, Taking his rest by the white _Thetis_ side, Meet in the holy wood, where I'le abide Thy coming, Shepherd. _Alex._ If I stay behind, An everlasting dulness, and the wind, That as he passeth by shuts up the stream Of _Rhine_ or _Volga_, whilst the suns hot beam Beats back again, seise me, and let me turn To coldness more than ice: oh how I burn And rise in youth and fire! I dare not stay. _Cloe._ My name shall be your word. _Alex._ Fly, fly thou day. [_Exit._ _Cloe._ My grief is great if both these boyes should fail: He that will use all winds must shift his sail. [_Exit._ _Actus Secundus. Scena Prima._ _Enter an old_ Shepherd, _with a bell ringing, and the Priest of Pan following._ |
